I'm in the Teyvat running group

Of course, because Liyue is so vast, they hadn't even left the southern foothills of Mount Tianheng yet. The Tianheng mountain range stretches from south to north, and a normal caravan would need three days to traverse it. Judging by the physical capabilities of the Teyvat superhumans, the Tianheng mountain range is comparable in size to the Qinling Mountains, a large mountain range capable of forming a geographical boundary. This also shows just how powerful the True Lord Yixiaodaotian was back then, who actually used his horns to support the Tianheng mountain range, and his blood flowed out to form the Bishui River. Although there is an exaggeration, Yunxiu could indeed feel the vast and boundless elemental power emanating from the interior of Mount Tianheng when she carefully sensed it.

"At least a legendary-level physique," Yunxiu muttered to himself. This level of combat power was still beyond his current comprehension.

Having walked over a hundred kilometers since leaving this morning, it's about time for Yunxiu to rest. Giving the pack animal a "meal" and finding a place to clear out some monsters and level up are Yunxiu's most pressing matters right now.

I jumped off the pack animal, found a patch of wasteland, drove a stake into the ground, secured the pack animal with the lock on the saddle, then grabbed a handful of bald beans and rye seeds, casually fired a few 0-ring rock elemental arrows to loosen the soil, then threw out the bean seeds and fired a few grass elemental swords to continuously catalyze the soil.

In less than five minutes, a large patch of rye and wild beans sprouted. He patted the pack animal's head, indicating it was ready to eat. Yunxiu quickly finished the compressed rations Xiangling had prepared for him, clapped his hands, and washed them with water from his water bag. He wasn't worried about running out of water; he could just learn the water-making spell when he leveled up and learned magic. Each time, 50 energy points could easily buy at least 40 liters of clean water, enough for frequent baths.

After finishing his meal, he tidied up his spellbook and crossbow, slung his quiver over his back, cast a spell on his pack animal, and then headed towards a small cave at the foot of Tianheng Mountain. This was the first place he had chosen to exterminate the demons.

According to the Adventure Handbook, a caravan had been stationed here just a week ago. While patrolling the area, the caravan members accidentally discovered a cave. Because there were many Hilichurls and monsters, the caravan reported the information immediately. Yunxiu saw this entry in the recent quest log in the Adventure Handbook. Since he was on his way to Mondstadt, he decided to clear out this place.

While we're at it, let's see if we can upgrade. Once a mage reaches level two, they can learn Arcane Protection, which will grant a shield every time a protective spell is cast!

After getting up and carefully examining her condition, Yunxiu silently took a deep breath. This was a crucial battle to test whether the continent of Teyvat could connect with the elemental system of the D&D world. If this battle succeeded, the road ahead would be smooth sailing...

HP: 253/253

Energy value: 808/808

Experience points: 265/1000

Spells that can be used:

0 Rings/No Cost: Elemental Arrow, Lightning Bolt, Mage's Hand, Lightning Claw, Sharp Weapon Protection...

1 Ring/50 Energy: Elemental Missile, Oil, Shield

"We've arrived." Looking at the camp with its crooked pillars, bizarre graffiti, a small fence around the entrance, and rough bone ornaments, a classic Hilichurl camp appeared before Yunxiu. She could only marvel at how vivid the game's modeling was. The rugged entrance, the ground and buildings with only a few traces of Hilichurl craftsmanship, and the few broken boxes and strange bottles and jars around it—anyone with even a slight understanding of Genshin Impact would know that this was indeed a Hilichurl camp.

Hearing the sounds of "Odomu," "Olah," and "Gusha" coming from inside, Yunxiu casually picked up a small stone and threw it in. Several beams of light shone out of the cave, accompanied by a wary "ika?"

Yunxiu revealed a crooked dragon king smile. Since he was a mage, how could he not fight using the methods of D&D? Of course, it was all about preparation, spells, and finishing off the enemy!

Without hesitation, he then shouted out the most memorable Hilichurl phrases he had learned in his previous life during the Hilichurl quest in Iramusk:

“Ye ika! Gusha mosi!”

"Ding! Intimidation assessment conducted. Due to your use of highly insulting language, this assessment is +3."

“叮！你本次投出11点，11+2+3=16，大成功！”

The enraged Hilichurls, wielding clubs and carrying wooden shields, some even lighting their own sticks on the fire to make torches before charging out, rushed forward shouting "ye ika!" and "Mosi ika!" They swarmed to the entrance, numbering seven or eight in total!

Yunxiu lightly stepped back, and when the Hilichurl rushed to the cave entrance and was less than 5 meters away from her, she raised her spellbook and energy surged into it: "Greasy Spell!"

In an instant, a patch of black, reflective, viscous grease, about five or six meters square, appeared beneath the feet of the five Hilichurls charging at the front. Their frenzied charge turned into a disaster. The Hilichurls screamed and crashed into each other, their wooden clubs flying out of their hands. The three Hilichurls behind them couldn't stop themselves either and rushed into the grease, even crashing into the Hilichurls in front of them.

Yunxiu's Intelligence bonus is as high as 6 points, which means that these Hilichurls must have a Dexterity saving throw of 16 to resist the control of the Grease spell. To guarantee a complete saving throw, based on the level of most Hilichurls, they would need to roll a value of at least 15 on the dice to be immune, which can only be described as an extremely low probability event.

"Adam!" "Dala?" "Yika!" The fallen Hilichurls struggled to their feet while muttering Hilichurl curses. Only one of the eight Hilichurls passed the identification, but its speed was greatly reduced. The twisted ferocity brought about by its low intelligence prevented it from running away or doing anything else. Instead, it gripped its wooden stick tightly and continued to charge forward with difficulty!

"Fire Element Arrow!" Yunxiu certainly wouldn't give him that chance. She took three steps back and fired a Fire Element Arrow, instantly igniting the Grease spell!

“Gushaaaaa——!!!”

-126, -126, -190

A series of damage numbers, large and small, popped up. When the grease spell is ignited, it can cause continuous 1D6 magic damage, multiplied by a damage coefficient of 31.62. Because of the Rock King's blessing, Yunxiu's default minimum roll for each die is 4, so it can deal at least 126 points of damage, which is 4 × 31.62!

Most of these Hilichurls only have 2D6+3 HP. Even if there is an occasional "high-level monster", it will only have 15 HP at most. Multiplying by the coefficient, it will have a maximum of 475 HP. And the combination of Grease and Fire can deal at least 3 to 4 hits. Even with bad equipment, it is difficult to withstand.

Ten seconds later, most of the Hilichurls were burned to death, leaving only two barely clinging to life, but they were left with only a sliver of health. They casually fired two elemental arrows to finish off the monster.

"You have gained 50 XP x 8".

"Hehe, a resounding success in one operation! Genshin Impact's spell system can indeed be integrated with D&D!"

Yunxiu shouted happily a few times, but upon closer reflection, it wasn't surprising. Elemental reactions were a template in D&D. Yunxiu's original concern was whether his spellcasting ability as a Descendant would be greatly affected by the different laws of this world. Currently, the Myriad Laws Manual has indeed solved this problem. At least for low-level spells, he can directly use the Myriad Laws Manual to cast spells. However, when it comes to high-level spells such as teleportation and soul spells, which involve the essence of the world, he will likely still need to conduct research like a true mage.

For mages, knowledge is the foundation of the world. Only by thoroughly studying the connection between magic and the world itself, and understanding the laws and origins, can they make progress.

Of course, based on the information I currently have in the Genshin Impact world, this is required starting from the sixth ring. My father's panel has a phrase like "reclaim your constellations," so it seems that there is a huge hurdle between the sixth and seventh rings. You must reclaim all six of your constellations to advance to the seventh ring level...

Thinking of this, Yunxiu couldn't help but feel surprised. The battle outside had gotten so intense. Usually, at this point, the mobs would be defeated like this, but the BOSS still hadn't appeared.

He then looked inside the cave and felt a chill run down his spine. According to the adventure manual, there couldn't possibly be only a few small monsters...

"Let's go in and take a look." He casually cast a shield spell on himself, increasing his defense judgment bonus by 5 points to 19. Most level 1 monsters would miss him directly unless he threw the spell at an extremely high point. Even if he hit, the damage would be greatly reduced due to the judgment. It can be said to be a miracle for mages in the early stages. When he reaches level 2, he can combine it with Arcane Protection. At that time, the Protection school can survive forever!

After walking along a crooked path that clearly showed signs of construction, Yunxiu, who suddenly sensed the immense elemental power ahead, lowered his head and hid behind a broken box against the wall.

Inside, there was an Abyss Mage, a Wooden Shield Hilichurl, two Axe-wielding Hilichurls, and four small Hilichurls resting, surrounding a huge, blue-green scale!

"What is this?" Yunxiu quietly asked, using a special effect that allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

"Ding! An identification is being performed. Because you used 'No Taboos,' the dice value for this identification is directly set to 20. 20 + 4 + 6, your final identification value is 30!"

"Target DC determined to be 25, identification successful!"

Chapter 14 Scales Appear Inside the Cave

【Scale of Dvalin, the Dragon of the East】: A scale from an ancient dragon whose owner was once the soaring Dragon of the East. Due to its fusion with the power of the abyss, it was personally torn off by its owner, but still retains extremely strong power. Its energy flow indicates that it seems to still have a connection with its owner...

Grade: Extremely Rare

Item characteristics:

[Immortal Will]: When used as a material in crafting, it can grant incomplete legendary resistances to finished equipment, and force a one-time exemption from any check per day.

[Dragon King's Bloodline]: When used as a material in forging, it can grant finished equipment Anemo and Electro resistance, and immunity to Anemo and Electro damage by 60%.

[Blessing of the Wind]: Increases the duration of all flight-type skills by 30% and their speed by 50%.

Hidden risks:

[Abyss Curse]: Suspected of being tainted by the abyss, the equipment forged will continuously cause the owner to lose 1D4 HP until it is removed, and will also cause weakness and poison effects.

[Bloodline Tracking]: Once this scale is used, its owner will be able to track you.

"Holy crap, a Stormterror scale!" Yunxiu exclaimed in surprise, but he quickly noticed that the description on the scale was "East Wind Dragon," meaning that this scale was left behind at least when the Abyss Order was still modifying it. If that was the case, the Stormterror incident was indeed not far off.

Moreover, Dvalin's scales actually have incomplete resistance! This means that Dvalin is very likely the Wind Dragon King, one of the seven ancient dragon kings. However, due to various reasons, he has now fallen to a rank below legendary. But the importance of rank in this kind of fantasy world goes without saying. Dvalin has the potential to return to the legendary rank, he just needs the right opportunity.

However, this also demonstrates Mondstadt's strength. If Jean even intended to kill Dvalin, Mondstadt must have more than one character of the seventh or eighth ring, or even greater strength, to kill Dvalin, who was already extremely weakened...

But right now, the most important thing is that we must get our hands on this scale!

"We need to think of a way to get this thing back."

Yunxiu surveyed the cave again. She had gained 400 experience points earlier, and now she had 665. It was still a long way from leveling up, and the difference between level 1 and level 2 wasn't significant. Only level 3 meant a higher world correction coefficient and spells. But now wasn't the time to talk about that. After all, if they didn't get this thing away, who knew where these Hilichurls would take it? And then the clues would be hard to find! Especially since Dvalin's scales were practically divine objects. They were very likely brought out by some Fatui or Abyss Order, but for some reason, they ended up here.

"If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another one." Yunxiu thought carefully for a moment, then examined each monster individually, and began to sketch and draw on the ground to devise a strategy.

"Although Abyss Mages are considered 3rd-level monsters, they only have a base health of 4D6+2. This Abyss Mage is rather unlucky, with a relatively low base health of only 11 points. Multiplying that by the world correction factor of 164, it only has 1800 points. After the ambush, the Abyss Mage must cast a spell for about 4 seconds before it can activate its shield. Without activating the shield, it is entirely possible to kill it instantly!"

"Axe-wielding Hilichurls and shield-wielding Hilichurls will be delayed by at least four seconds under my Grease + Fire Arrow. Although they are both 10D8 templates, they are considered level 2 monsters with around 4000 health. I can try to kill one first, and then kite the others with Flash and Thunder Claw."

"Judging from the test just now, the little Hilichurl can't withstand the combination of Oil and Fire Arrow."

Of course, the key here is whether or not the Abyss Mage can be killed in one go. If he cannot be killed quickly, the Abyss Mage will be almost certainly dead once he activates his shield and can teleport.

However, Yunxiu was still very confident. His elemental missiles could deal at least 15 base damage, which multiplied by the coefficient was 475. As long as he had a bit of luck with the dice, it wouldn't be a problem to get over 600. Moreover, he also had an elemental crossbow. Even in the worst-case scenario, two elemental missiles plus a few crossbow shots would be enough to kill the Abyss Mage. Once he could kill the mage, it would be easy to kite him, run away, or even call for reinforcements to deal with him.

Without teleportation, other monsters couldn't catch up to him while he was riding his mount due to the harassment from his spells.

There's a 50% chance of success and a 90% chance of escape. It's a sure thing!

Yunxiu casually stomped on the drawing she had made on the ground with a twig to smooth it out. She checked her status: 0-ring spells don't consume energy. So far today, she had only used three 1-ring spells. The Unrestricted Talisman reduced energy consumption by 10%, leaving her with 673 energy points, which was more than enough.

He then quietly moved two more boxes to block the road and placed a pile of junk there. Afterward, he stood behind the boxes, took out a spellbook and a crossbow, and aimed at the still-sleeping abyss mage!

"[Elemental Missile]!"

"12! 4! 11!"

"Your final total damage is 30 points, with a world correction factor of 31.62."

"-949!"

The Abyss Mage was jolted awake from his sleep! He uttered a "ye ika!" sound, and the other Hilichurls, large and small, immediately woke up and stood up, preparing their weapons. The Abyss Mage, seemingly oblivious to his remaining half health, began chanting a strange incantation, and a stream of ice elemental energy gathered around him—a sign that he was about to activate his shield!

"Greasy spell!" A patch of grease, about five or six meters square, appeared again. Except for one Hilichurl with a shield and one Hilichurl with an axe who barely managed to stand, all the little Hilichurls fell to the ground. The Abyss Mage, who had just finished chanting half of the spell, also fell down, but quickly got up and continued chanting the spell for Elemental Shield!

"Damn it, can the Abyss skill's casting be resumed after it's interrupted?" Yunxiu gritted his teeth in anger, but this was still within his expectations. He then raised his hand and fired an Elemental Fire Arrow! With a boom, the towering flames ignited again, and the Hilichurls' screams echoed back and forth in the cave, creating a peculiar sound that could even be considered a magical attack.

But Yunxiu's shield spell was still effective. He shook his head forcefully and used Convergence to fire four ice element rune arrows at the lightning element abyss mage!

"-316!"

"-221!"

"-316!"

"-285!"

The abyss mage, whose body had just been radiating elemental light, was instantly killed!

The two little Hilichurls couldn't withstand the continuous burning for three seconds and fell into the sea of ​​fire, but the three-headed Hilichurl thug managed to withstand the damage and charged out with almost 90% of its health remaining!

"Greasy technique!"

"Greasy technique!"

"Greasy technique!"

Three consecutive grease spells were cast, connecting all the paths in the cave and creating a towering inferno that burned the entire small cave red-hot. However, the Hilichurls charged out, shouting in Hilichurl, clearly indicating that this kind of damage was not a significant threat to their thick skin.

Yunxiu crouched down, held the confluence, and fired two triple shots at each of the two targets!

“-285！-411！-158！-443！-221！-348！”

“-285！-379！-285！-443！-190！-285！”

When the three Hilichurls rushed out, one of the first two still had about 10% health left, the other only had a sliver of health left, and the last one still had a full 60% health left!

Seeing this, Yunxiu didn't care about anything else. She used her elemental power to launch an elemental arrow through the convergence of her elements, and then raised her hand to fire a magic missile at another low-health Hilichurl!

"-190!"

"-475!"

The two enormous Hilichurls collapsed instantly, kicking up dust. Just as Yunxiu was about to finish off the last Hilichurl, the Hilichurl Brute leaped up, its massive axe glowing red and about to crash down with the force to tear through the air. It even faintly contained a trace of lightning energy, which was the Hilichurl Brute's innate Berserk Thunder Axe skill!

"Shield!"
